MGB & GT Forum

Wow, it's been a while. When going to college in California in the late 1970's I found a sweet 1968 MGBGT that I drove for 6 years in College, doing all my own maintenance, as I grew up on a family farm in Ontario. When it was time to get to work I drove California to Toronto just before winter set in, and got some tire chains. That car was near perfect until I started driving it around Toronto. It succumbed to rust within 4 years when a newspaper delivery truck hit it head on while parked outside on the street. Oh well, I got more than it was worth from insuirance. Fast forward to more recent times and I had near given up hope on finding a nice rust free replacement. Of course it had to be a 1968 GT or close. Finally found one in you guessed, California, not far from where I found the first one years back. The seller answered my questionI asked after I bought it about driving it across country to Ontario. He said he honestly thought it would not be a problem. It was not, and now I have it. This one is not going to get wrecked on City roads, as I am back on the farm, and have no intention of driving it on salted roads in the winter. No salt on the roads near farming, at least not around where I am.

Does this pic look funny to any body else, or have I been looking at it too long? Does not look funny in person. Any body notice anything funny about it? Anyway--Hi all!

Hi Russ. its been so long I could not really say one way or another. Is it too far back? I was not sure on it.

Documentation included shows it was brought to California from London in 1969. Now in Canada.
